Human Rights / Race Relations Committee

The Human Rights / Race Relations (HRRR) committee is comprised of the four equity groups within CEIU.

The mandate of the Committee is to:

• Explore, develop and review human rights and race relations initiatives;
• Review policies within CEIU and the departments /agency;
• To represent and respond to concerns relating to human rights issues;
• To monitor and evaluate the progress of CEIU as both a union and an employer on issues of human rights.

The Committee is comprised of eight members – two from each of the following groups:

• First Nations/Métis/Inuit
• Members with Disabilities
• Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transgendered Persons
• Racially Visible

Gender parity is maintained in each of the four groups. Members are elected for a three year term to sit on the national HRRR committee. The elections take place at the tri-annual HRRR conference.
